Optimization of Parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann Law, II
No full textsummary:The paper continues our studies released under the same title [Andres, J., Kubáček, L., Machalová, J., Tučková, M.: Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law Acta Univ. Palacki. Olomuc., Fac. rer. nat., Math. 51, 1 (2012), 5–27.]. As the main result justifying the conclusions in [Andres, J., Kubáček, L., Machalová, J., Tučková, M.: Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law Acta Univ. Palacki. Olomuc., Fac. rer. nat., Math. 51, 1 (2012), 5–27.], the theorem is presented enunciating that the English original of Poe’s celebrated poem Raven is a language fractal only w.r.t. the application of the simplest truncated formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law, but not w.r.t. other applied formulas under our consideration. Moreover, the related degree of semanticity is calculated in these cases, including the naive intervals of such a degree. A suitability of the applied formulas is discussed from the point of view of a verbal version of the Menzerath–Altmann law (i.e. the tendency of the approximating functions is to be decreasing) and by means of quantitative criteria characterizing the accuracy of fitted data. Our discussion extends the traditional approaches to the Menzerath–Altmann law
Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law
No full textsummary:Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics
Quantitative analysis of Italian texts
No full textThe present book can be considered a continuation of two streams in textology initiated by different groups of scholars. The first group consisting of Italian scientists analyzed the 57 end-of-year speeches of 9 Italian presidents since 1949
to 2005 from very different points of view. The investigation resulted in the book edited by M.A. Cortelazzo and A. Tuzzi (2007) containing statistical vistas and political, social, linguistic and cultural matter. The second group, lead by I.-I. Popescu consisting of linguists and mathematicians, focused on general aspects associated with texts, namely text characterization, fixed points, vocabulary richness, thematic concentration, compactness, study of autosemantics, the impact of the position in sentence; this group also focused on the possibility of drawing conclusions from text to the morphology of language, etc. This investigation resulted in two books authored by I.-I. Popescu et al. (2009) and I.-I. Popescu, J. Mačutek and G. Altmann (2009). The present book is a further development of methods and fully concentrated on the end-of-year addresses of Italian presidents. Moreover, the updated version of the corpus includes 60 end-of-year speeches of 10 presidents since 1949 to 2008. The aim was to look at the highest floor of the linguistically perceived reality, namely the sets of word associations, compare these worlds and pursue a possible development in this thematically homogeneous corpus. The book includes chapters concerning the golden section, Zipf ́s law, parts-of-speech analysis and some issues concerning vocabulary richness,continuing the examinations resulting from earlier common publications

Disturbance of cerebral function in people exposed to drinking water contaminated with aluminium sulphate: retrospective study of the Camelford water incident
No full textObjective: To establish whether people exposed to drinking water contaminated with 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate in the Camelford area of Cornwall in the south west of England in July 1988 had suffered organic brain damage as opposed to psychological trauma only.
Design: Retrospective study of affected people.
Participants: 55 affected people and 15 siblings nearest in age to one of the group but who had not been exposed to the contaminated water were studied.
Main outcome measures: Various clinical and psychological tests to determine medical condition and anxiety levels in affected people. Assessment of premorbid IQ (pFSIQ) with the national adult reading test, a computerised battery of psychomotor testing, and measurement of the difference in latencies between the flash and pattern visual evoked potentials in all participants.
Results: The mean (SE) pFSIQ was above average at 114.4 (1.1). The most sensitive of the psychomotor tests for organic brain disease was the symbol digit coding (SDC) test (normal score 100, abnormal less than 85). Participants performed less well on this test (54.5 (6.0)) than expected from their pFSIQ (Pless than 0.0001) and a little less poorly on the averaged less discriminating tests within the battery (86.1 (2.5), Pless than 0.0001). In a comparison with the 15 sibling pairs (affected people's age 41.0 (3.3) years vsibling age of 42.7 (3.1) years (P=0.36) the exposed people had similar pFSIQ (114.7 (2.1)) to their siblings (116.3 (2.1), (P=0.59) but performed badly on the symbol digit coding test (51.8 (16.6)) v(87.5 (4.9) for siblings, P=0.03). The flash-pattern differences in exposed people were greater than in 42 unrelated control subjects of similar age (27.33 (1.64) ms v18.57 (1.47) ms, P=0.0002). The 15 unexposed siblings had significantly better flash-pattern differences than their affected siblings (13.4 (2.4) ms v29.6 (2.9) ms, P=0.0002). No effect of anxiety could be shown on these measurements from the analysis of the anxiety scores of exposed people.
Conclusion: People who were exposed to the contaminated water at Camelford suffered considerable damage to cerebral function, which was not related to anxiety. Follow up studies would be required to determine the longer term prognosis for affected individuals
